I've always wanted to see Clockwork Orange. Love the director (would spell his name poorly), and heard it was really good. One day it will happen............i hope.

Stanley Kubrick and his other famous movie - 2001: A Space Odyssey is another masterpiece.

I always like to watch A clockwork Orange when I feel like something strange or just a nasty urge for A bit of the ultra violence.

Don't forget Dr. Stranglove. I love that movie. There is some great comedy in there. Also, Peter Sellers is fantastic in almost every scene (and by that i mean he almost in every scene in the movie playing three parts.) Kubrick is a genuis of filmmaking

Spinal Tap... one of the best...

Another good one would be 2001: A Space Odyssey... and who could forget The Wall (not the best movie, but still good)?

Then there's also The Rutles: All You Need is Cash, and the Monty Python films... and if you really like Spinal Tap, I recommend Fear of a Black Hat, Spinal Tap except with Gangster Rap, VERY VERY VERY VERY funny.

Anthing dramatic with a dash of sci-fi, violence, black humour and kitsch

Here is a small sample of my personal favourites:

  • Bladerunner (Ridley Scott - Director)
  • 2001: A Space Odessey ( and all Kubrick directed movies)
  • Kill Bill vol1 & 2 (all Quentin Tarantino directed movies)
  • Fargo (love the Coen Brothers as movie directors)
  • American Beauty (Sam Mendes - Director)
  • Apocalypse Now (Francis Ford Cappola - Director)

And of course being patriotic : The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (Peter Jackson - Director)

Monty Python! I can't believe nobody mentioned them. Or am I the only one who likes them?

You aren't! They're great.

I love the"Not being seen"-sketch, and the Italian lesson, the "Cheese Shop" and......(ok, stop )
And their running gags, lovely

But, do you know "Fawlty Towers"? A great comedy-series!

Ok, the films: For me Kubrick is the greatest director. Dr. Strangelove is my favourite of him

and "The Godfather" (Coppola) is also great
